This is my entry for the #MakeItFloat challenge. I named it "Balloon Boy" for pretty obvious reasons. It uses 3 stabilizers that are printed at 0% infill (hollow) at 0.1 mm layer height. The boat itself is also printed in this fashion. The balloons I used were simple water balloons. I used 5 pumps of air from my manual balloon pump, however, you will most likely use a different pump, so experiment with different values. It can hold about 50-60 pennies depending on the # of pumps on the balloons.
